Topic: Make my iRedMail public on internet

Hi everyone. Im kinda new to this iRedMail. I have managed to install iRedOS which is pretty simple and straight forward. Currently, I can send and receive emails within the virtual domains in a local area network. However, I would like for this mail server to be public used. I would be really appreciate for you to guide me through with the configuration for making my mail server public on the internet. I would like to have my iRedMail server be able to send emails to other public emails such as hotmail and yahoo, and also receive emails from them. Can you please guide me through this?

Re: Make my iRedMail public on internet

Yea. I know that I have to configure the DNS and MX Record. The problem is that I'm kinda fresh to these. Could you please help me and guide me through this? Like what to configure in DNS and what to configure in MX Record. Thanks so much for your help. Greatly appreciated.

if the dns server is yours to manage, i suggest that you

install webmin since it have a web interface for managing dns service

after wards, browse to server-IP:10000

log in with your root password

go to servers > bind dns (if you're using bind)

click on your zone

add a A record for your iredmail server, then apply configuration

set a MX record that points to your iredmail server, apply configuration

bind is unsecured and hard.

Where You have domain? Set MX record in Your registrar.

You must set:mail.domain.com MX host.of.your.iRedOS

You must have public IP.

Hi Dong,What you meant is that I don't need to bind. All I need to do is to set MX record in my registrar. Here's what I did. I applied for a free domain from co.cc, and my domain is "ictbz.co.cc". Also my public IP is 200.32.232.36.So how do I configure my MX record in my registrar?

I have applied a free domain "ictbz.co.cc" from co.cc, also my public IP is 200.32.232.36.

What's going to be my A record and what's going to be my MX record if I'm going through the webmin? In addition to that, the co.cc has setup that I can configure A record and MX record and nameservers...do I need to configure these?

Also, do I need to configure my /etc/hosts and nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf in my server? What's going to be the configurations for these files?

from my little experience on setting up mail server

A record = 200.32.232.36 (for ictbz.co.cc)MX record = mail.ictbz.co.cc (where the IP of iredmail in DNS pointed to this FQDN in A record )

the iredmail server resolv.conf must specify the co.cc nameservers as its nameserver
